Use Any Map - The Choice is Yours

When it comes to visualizing geo data – especially down to the street level, there are many different map providers available. Some are free (usually with certain conditions) such as OpenStreetMap and some are for commercial use such as Bing Maps, Esri ArcGIS and MapQuest. In fact there are more than 70 maps providers out there, each with different features designed to solve different cases. In Dundas BI, we ensure that if you already invested in a certain map provider or have your preference in regards to a specific provider – the choice will be yours as you can simply select the right provider to work with on your dashboards – no coding required.

Validate Your Data Model as You Build It

Dundas BI's rich data preparation layer (i.e. data cubes) includes many different types of data transforms to help you shape and structure your data in the most convenient way for your analytics and for other consumer's data explorations. A great way to understand the shape of your data and the impact of each data transform you add to the model, is by using the statistics report that profiles your data to offer key insights, helping you understand the accuracy of your model and if you managed to achieve the expected result when using the transform. The statistics can be accessed for each transform as you progress.

With our latest release, the process of getting answers just got a whole lot simpler with new interactions and advanced visualizations that are designed to eliminate the need to spend more time preparing data for every question. One of these such visualizations is the Heat Map.

Maps, in general, are practical tools for spotting spatial patterns in geographical data, population details, office locations, regional performance of certain measures and more. With Dundas BI 5, we’ve taken our existing Map Visualization and set its functionalities ablaze by incorporating Heat Maps.

Dundas will be at the Gartner Data & Analytics Summit 2018 from March 5-8. This conference will give you the tools to build on the fundamentals of data management, business intelligence (BI), and analytics.
